Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has backed Army Chief Asim Munir’s controversial analogy comparing India to a “shining Mercedes” and Pakistan to a “dump truck.” Munir first used the metaphor during a Saudi delegation’s visit in May and repeated it at a private dinner in Florida, claiming Pakistan’s gravel-loaded truck could damage India’s sleek car in a collision. Naqvi echoed the sentiment, denying Indian missile strikes during ‘Operation Sindoor’ despite satellite evidence showing major damage to Pakistani air bases. Munir’s remarks sparked ridicule online, with users mocking Pakistan’s self-deprecating comparison and praising India’s military might. Critics called the analogy delusional and reflective of Pakistan’s diminished strategic standing. (PC: NDTV)
